Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II


“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

I've still two Lencos spinning.

Glad to see you post here again. I always admired your work, and thought the original thread lost a valuable member when you bowed out. Seems as though it has been a long time since you posted on VA too.

And of course, 4yanx, you're always welcome over at the new New Lenco Heaven site. A lot of old Lenco hands would love to see what the ol' artisan of plinths has been up to.
All best,

Hey guys,

Anyone here have a spare idler wheel spring for sale? I need the spring that engages the wheel. I had an elastic string that came loose and now for some reason I can't get it to work again, I figure I'll just go back to the spring but I don't have one. Thanks very much!
Jock strap gives better bass response and lower rumble. I don't like the hf response with panty hose.
